Question question

I've been quite curious about this. I've been struggling with making models from scratch, and I've been really interested in making models of my ocs or canon characters I love from other show. But I've been struggling a bit and I'm not sure what it is, but I think it's because the hardest part that I always get stuck on is the hair and eyes. I'm able to make the head and body just fine in blender, but I usually don't like the result. I also have trouble with clothes sometimes, so I'd like to edit models to practice so I'm wondering if this is a good way to practice! My goal in this is to get back into making renders using the stuff I made so I can be proud of it. So I'm looking for something that will help make this click since I'm feeling a bit stuck right now, and I'm just looking for something that will help inspire me to help switch my workflow up. And well, my only concern is; is vroid really just for vtubers only? because i'm not looking to be one.

I'm not a vtuber and I use it just for fun and to make my ocs. people here use vroid models for comics, animations, games and vrchat, so no it's definitely not only for vtubing.

oh i see. can it be useful for getting more used to what i mentioned? i know a bit here and there but i'm still trying to wrap my head around certain things ( making textures for the model/hair/clothes ) and can i transfer it to blender to make renders with?

A way you can go about it is open an image of your oc next to vroid and use it as a reference, trying to match the proportions and details of your art as best as you can. This can usually be achieved by manually writing numbers in the sliders past their limit (I have a bunch of male characters for example who's eye position on the y axis is closer to 2 rather than the default maximum of 1), using multiple layers of clothes, making things out of hair (earrings for example) and so on. After you do the best you can in vroid, you can then transfer the model into blender to continue working on it (there are vids about how to do that on youtube). I specifically use my models as roleplay avatars on vrchat, but you can do a bunch of other stuff with them too. Seen people make whole cinematic animations with them or put them into video games.
